I always wanted to add a Moorish Idol to my tank but I was always afraid that my other fish would attack and kill it, but after about 4 days in the tank there doesn't seem to be any issues. I've had the Moorish Idol for almost 2 weeks now and the fish eats everything under the sun and is always looking for food. The streamer on the top has grew from about 1/2" to about 3" and the fish is starting to get a nice fat belly.

Mine I had a pair for 2 years then they got an appetite for corals so if you see your corals receding or dying look first to the idol.
I went through 3 pairs all ate corals in the end.
Maybe you'll have better luck.
My favorite fish

Mine is in a fish only tank, so I don't have to worry about it eating any corals. My bigger concern was my fish other going after it, but outside of the Passer and Asfer giving it a little push none of the other fish seem to even notice it is the tank.

Beautiful idol MIKE! My signature fish! I had one for more than a year no problem with other tangs. I gave it away Coz it was eating all my acan, fav and blastos.

Steve....I was always concerned about my other Tangs, as they're very large and there are a lot of them in the tank. There is a pecking order among all the fish, especially when food is thrown into the tank, and I was worried that they would beat him into a corner or stop him from feeding but that doesn't seem to be the case.
